Russian guitarists are well aware of Rudnev both for his classical guitar compositions and for being a great performer. His pieces are performed often in recitals and competitions in Russia. Rudnev is even considered a “national treasure”, yet his popularity in the west is not comparable. The most well-known piece is The Old-Lime Tree, yet others within The Russian Collection Volume III deserve just as much attention. I have chosen to write this treatise on three of the pieces that I performed for my Doctoral Lecture Recital: The Wanderer’s Song, The Old-Lime Tree, and The Snowball Tree. I have also included a fourth piece, Dance Song, to represent the faster folk- dance styles. These four pieces represent some of the different genres of urban and rural Russian folk songs found within the collection. This treatise is meant to be used as a helpful resource for those guitarists seeking additional information on the works found in The Russian Collection Vol. III. Along with my discussion of the pieces, I will also include a short biography of Sergei Rudnev, as well as the series editor, Matanya Ophee. I was fortunate enough to come across Rudnev’s email address by means of a correspondence with the 2012 Guitar Foundation of America winner, Rovshan Mamedkuliev. I then conducted an interview with Rudnev and have included it in this treatise. The only problem that I encountered with interviewing Rudnev was that he only spoke Russian. I was fortunate enough to find a translator that would work within my budget, and Rudnev was incredibly kind and willing to be interviewed. The entire email correspondence will be included in both Russian and English in this treatise. viii CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION When I first came across the guitar works of Sergei Rudnev, I was in my final year of my Master’s degree at Florida State University. For my last recital, I wanted to put together a program that included at least one work that was not often performed. Typically, I learn well- known works written or transcribed for the classical guitar. Learning the most popular and most often performed works for the classical guitar gives me the chance to see how I compare as a musician to other players, and since most students take this path, it also allows me to become a more helpful and informed teacher for those who inevitably want to learn them. During my search for a new piece, I came across an album by the Russian guitarist Artyom Dervoed. Dervoed’s recital album is dedicated solely to Russian music. It was here that I first listened to The Old-Lime Tree arranged by Sergei Rudnev. With its improvisatory feeling and beautiful melody, The Old-Lime Tree was completely different than any piece that I had performed at the time, and I knew that I had to learn it. I found the score within The Russian Collection Volume III. The Russian Collection series was created by the musicologist and historian Matanya Ophee, and the third volume in the series contains works only by Rudnev. When I received my copy of Rudnev’s folk song arrangements, I realized that, aside from The Old-Lime Tree, I had never heard any of these pieces performed. I had also never heard of Rudnev until I listened to Dervoed’s album. Unfortunately, at that time, I only needed one piece to fill up my program, so I learned The Old-Lime Tree and moved on. A few years later, however, I revisited the collection. 1 At this point in my career I was searching for a subject for my Doctoral Lecture Recital and possible treatise subject. I remembered how interesting the Russian folk-song arrangements by Rudnev were, and began sight-reading his works. As an experienced guitarist himself, Rudnev is able to compose very virtuosic pieces that fit well in the hands. Occasionally, his pieces incorporate the highest register of the guitar and can be quite challenging to perform. After playing through a few of his pieces, I quickly realized that Rudnev was a great composer and arranger for the classical guitar. It was at this time that I decided to learn and perform a selection of Rudnev’s compositions for my Doctoral Lecture recital. While preparing for the lecture part of my

  • The KNIGHT REVISION of HORNBOSTEL-SACHS: a New Look at Musical Instrument Classification
    The KNIGHT REVISION of HORNBOSTEL-SACHS: a new look at musical instrument classification by Roderic C. Knight, Professor of Ethnomusicology Oberlin College Conservatory of Music, © 2015, Rev. 2017 Introduction The year 2015 marks the beginning of the second century for Hornbostel-Sachs, the venerable classification system for musical instruments, created by Erich M. von Hornbostel and Curt Sachs as Systematik der Musikinstrumente in 1914. In addition to pursuing their own interest in the subject, the authors were answering a need for museum scientists and musicologists to accurately identify musical instruments that were being brought to museums from around the globe. As a guiding principle for their classification, they focused on the mechanism by which an instrument sets the air in motion. The idea was not new. The Indian sage Bharata, working nearly 2000 years earlier, in compiling the knowledge of his era on dance, drama and music in the treatise Natyashastra, (ca. 200 C.E.) grouped musical instruments into four great classes, or vadya, based on this very idea: sushira, instruments you blow into; tata, instruments with strings to set the air in motion; avanaddha, instruments with membranes (i.e. drums), and ghana, instruments, usually of metal, that you strike. (This itemization and Bharata’s further discussion of the instruments is in Chapter 28 of the Natyashastra, first translated into English in 1961 by Manomohan Ghosh (Calcutta: The Asiatic Society, v.2). The immediate predecessor of the Systematik was a catalog for a newly-acquired collection at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Brussels. The collection included a large number of instruments from India, and the curator, Victor-Charles Mahillon, familiar with the Indian four-part system, decided to apply it in preparing his catalog, published in 1880 (this is best documented by Nazir Jairazbhoy in Selected Reports in Ethnomusicology – see 1990 in the timeline below).

  • Guitar Tunings
    Guitar tunings Guitar tunings assign pitches to the open strings of guitars, including acoustic guitars, electric guitars, and classical guitars. Tunings are described by the particular pitches denoted by notes in Western music. By convention, the notes are ordered from lowest-pitched string (i.e., the deepest bass note) to highest-pitched (thickest string to thinnest).[1] Standard tuning defines the string pitches as E, A, D, G, B, and E, from lowest (low E2) to highest (high E4). Standard tuning is used by most guitarists, and The range of a guitar with standard frequently used tunings can be understood as variations on standard tuning. tuning The term guitar tunings may refer to pitch sets other than standard tuning, also called nonstandard, alternative, or alternate. Some tunings are used for 0:00 MENU particular songs, and might be referred to by the song's title.

  • The Guitar of the Czars the Guitar of the Czars
    The Guitar of the Czars The Guitar of the Czars a new English summary redaction by Marco Bazzotti This is a revision of an article of mine published in the Italian bimonthly "Seicorde" [ Note 1 ], a guitar magazine that ended its life in 1995. To my knowledge it was the first article about this subject published in the Italian language (after the most significant article by Matanya Ophee in a concurrent magazine, which was published some 7 years before mine [ Note 2 ]). I was induced to republish it in English not only to make it available to a wider audience, but also because for editorial purposes part of the original text and all the end notes were cut in the first publication, so I could not give due credit to my references. But it was my first published article, so I was glad for it to appear anyhow. Some years later I noticed also that some of the information contained therein was not completely exact. I decided to leave the text in a form close to its first version, cutting only the interviews with the Russian guitarist M. Goldort and Italian Professor P. Bonaguri, these now having become dated. I preferred to replace almost all the accompanying images with new ones that I have discovered in the following years. Since the collapse of the Berlin wall in It was quite difficult for me to get 1989, the countries of eastern European have information about some Russian guitarists, exploded in a painful big-bang that has due both to the ever-present difficulties in changed the geography of Europe and Asia communication (it is still difficult just to drastically.

  • Bayan + Flute: Arts @ Holy Trinity to Present Stasera Duo by Jarrett Hoffman
    Bayan + flute: Arts @ Holy Trinity to present Stasera Duo by Jarrett Hoffman Recently, maybe just by coincidence, Akron’s Arts @ Holy Trinity series has been highlighting uncommon, intriguing pairings of instruments — ones that often represent different spheres of the musical world, but that overlap in some slight way. Last month brought clarinet and acoustic guitar, which share the same basic material: wood. And next up is flute and accordion, which derive their sound from the same place: air. More specifically, when Stephanie Jutt and Stanislav Venglevski of the Stasera Duo give a virtual concert on Sunday, March 21 at 4:00 pm (register h​ere)​, the combination that will be on display is flute and bayan, a type of chromatic button accordion developed in Russia that’s known for its wide range and rich sound. Their program is diverse — it’s mostly made up of Venglevski’s original works, but also includes music by Astor Piazzolla, Isaac Albéniz, Alexander Tziganov, Raimundo Pineda, Claude Debussy, Henry Mancini, and J.S. Bach. It’s also very recent. The Duo was scheduled to record it on Monday at the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art. “It’s a place where we can safely get a few cameras in, and it’s going to be closed on Monday morning, so we’re going in at ten,” Jutt said by telephone last week. The choice of Madison, Wisconsin is also symbolic: it’s the ensemble’s birthplace. Jutt and Venglevski met there in 2019, when she invited him to be a guest artist in the Bach Dancing and Dynamite Society, a chamber music festival she co-founded and co-directs.

This instru­ mental arrangement was prepared by Darcy Methenitis, flutist of the Ensemble. Rooskay Sveeta (Russian Suite) The choreography by Perfiloff is based on two folk tunes: a very slow lyric melody in minor is employed for the first half of the dance, followed by a lively tune "Polyanka" which brings the men on stage. Dvyenadtsat Razboyneekov (Twelve Thieves) Once upon a time in old Russia lived the "Twelve Thieves." Their leader, a brave man, was Ataman Koodiar. Many innocent people were sacrificed and much blood was shed until one day God awakened the conscience of Ataman Koodiar and changed his ways. A very old Monk in a Monastery named Pyetyereem, whose previous name was Koodiar, tells us this tale. Nad Palyamee (Over the Fields) The clean fields sparkle as the half moon, bird-like, flies over them sending sparks into the air. 101st Season Fifty-third Concert Ninth Annual Choice Series Karabeineek (The Peddler) This song describes a peddler selling his goods at the fair until he meets a dark-eyed beauty.
